ricardisimo:
It's far from important but it would be helpful. My steps may be too 
complicated and if so I will try and break them down into safer more manageable 
units. The first and simplest test to do (which will not make any permanent 
change that will last over a reboot) is the following:
Under 2.6.20-15-386:
1. Boot as usual. 
2. Start a terminal.
3. sudo -s vold_id /dev/sdb1
This will tell us the UUID of that partition. Ensure you don't have any windows 
or programs open that are using /media/storage then do this:
4. sudo umount /dev/sdb1 .
(this will try and unmount the storage device if nothing is using it. If you 
get an error here just stop and don't go any further. No changes will have been 
done)
5. sudo mount -U <ID_FS_UUID found earlier>
(this should add the storage device back. See if
ls /media/storage
shows what you are expecting)
6. Report what the result was back here. No permanent change will have been 
made and no files should have been edited. Do not do any more than this 
initially. 

There's no need to uninstall the new kernel. Just leave it be for now.
